Dr. Anthony Fauci has called Boston Celtics legend Bob Cousy, a fellow Holy Cross alum, his “absolute hero.”
But did the nation’s top infectious disease expert help Cousy get a COVID-19 vaccine?
Or was it Sen. Joe Manchin, another high-profile friend of the 92-year-old basketball Hall of Famer? Or someone else?
Cousy says it’s a “mystery.”
At least, it was.
Cousy told the Palm Beach Post this week that officials in his hometown of Worcester reached out to him last month after hearing from “a little bird” that he had struggled to land a vaccine appointment, despite being eligible under the state’s rollout, which opened up eligibility to residents over the age of 75 on Feb 1.
